Summing it Up...

Now, that I'm way on the wrong side of sixty, I feel that being true to self is important. "I yam, what I yam." Kindness and smiles are to be given away. Women are strong. Men are more vulnerable than we believe. Husbands may come and go...but one thing I know for sure is that I will NEVAH live without a corgi or coffee in my life if I can prevent it. Come piles of dog fur or hot water!

Midlife Musings...

How do you measure happiness?

It takes so little some days to make me happy.

Today, for instance...
Something that warmed my heart:

~ Was seeing a young colt lying on the soft blanket of green pasture, sleeping in the sun under the watchful eye of his mama, Mrs. Horse.

~ The white-faced sheep chewing away in the hilly field outside the log cabin barn. Their fleece is so dirty this time of year, and hangs from their face in fuzzy strips. Bits of grass and straw stick straight out of their fuzzy rumps. Such a sight. They look huge in their sheepskin coats, about 8 inches thick!

~ A curvy, tree-lined, field stone sided creek caught my eye as the corgi kids and I did our daily country therapeutic drive. Made we wish we had that particular acre to call our own.

~Penniwig's blog entry for April Fool's was such a hoot today! Made me laugh so that I set the corgis off into barking.

However, you should know....that I am taking cold medication that's making me druggy and loopy. It's pretty cool....but could have side effects that aren't the norm!
